This day and age we're living inGives cause for apprehensionWith speed and new inventionAnd things like fourth dimensionYet we get a trifle wearyWith Mr. Einstein's theorySo we must get down to earth at timesRelax relieve the tensionAnd no matter what the progressOr what may yet be provedThe simple facts of life are suchThey cannot be removed

You must remember thisA kiss is still a kissA sigh is just a sighThe fundamental things applyAs time goes by

And when two lovers wooThey still say, "I love you"On that you can relyNo matter what the future bringsAs time goes by

Moonlight and love songsNever out of dateHearts full of passionJealousy and hateWoman needs manAnd man must have his mateThat no one can deny

Well, it's still the same old storyA fight for love and gloryA case of do or dieThe world will always welcome loversAs time goes byOh yes, the world will always welcome loversAs time goes by
